GAME REPORT

Anyone looking for a team that could be a dark horse in the race to the EuroLeague women Final Four might want to look to Croatia where Jolly JBS Sibenik prevailed over ZVVZ USK Prague for their second win in three games.

Constance Jinks had a season-high 26 points and six rebounds as the Croatian outfit knocked off Lubor Blazek's team 76-70.

Jinks came into the game averaging 15.5 points.

Prague were on top 66-62 with 5:19 remaining but weren't able to press home the advantage.

Jinks made them pay. She buried a jump shot with 3:32 to go to cut and shortly after drilled a three-pointer to put Jolly JBS into a 67-66 lead.

After Kerri Gardin split a pair of free throws, Lindsay Whalen went in for a lay-up to knot the game at 68-68.

Jinx again put her team in front with a lay-up and Gardin followed with a basket down low for a four-point lead.

Evi Maltsi reduced the deficit to 72-70 with 35 seconds to go, only for Jinks and Monika Veselovski to each make a pair of free throws to ice the win.

COACH QUOTES

"We won a match against a great opponent. We understood the risk of not marking Lindsay Whalen, one of the best WNBA players, and it paid off in the end. We got a lot of help from Monika Veselovski, who played her first match for Jolly JBS. I congratulate my players on another great victory."

Lubor Blazek (coach ZVVZ USK Prague):

"We wanted a fast game, but we couldn't play one. The home team fouled us much more than we did them. But still, there were more fouls awarded to them than to us, especially in the last part of the game. Jolly JBS is a good team, they showed it tonight and I congratulate them."
